Chuck

The show is the result of a love triangle ...  Read the complete review

Chuck Bartowski is an ordinary(ish) guy with an ordinary job. He works as a computer technician in a large electronics store that also employs his best friend Morgan. Chuck lives with his sister Ellie and her boyfriend Devon who do their best to get Chuck a girlfriend, something which Chuck resents as he is not over his ex-girlfriend Jill.
